fleming and john miller. >> now, all along the parade route this song that echoed through the ballpark and my broadcast partner on the radio dave fleming somehow has involuntary reaction to it. a lot of people think he's so into it. whenever the music comes on he can't contain himself. it's not even that and i'm going to show you it right now. >> i'm not sure where you're going with this john. >> it's uncontrollable for him so he's not really into even the thought of it but i want to show you what really happens. we seen him do it so many times in the ballpark. along the parade route they were pleading for him to do it. >> i don't know. >> so really -- now keep your eyes on dave. watch what happens when i say "oh gangom style". >> john, can do it with me too. >> okay, okay. i can't help it. [cheers and applause] now, another thing that occurred to us was that giants winning on the road the way they did, the one thing the giants' players really missed was that ability to share it with all of you, and we thought because they're right in the back here we could give them that feelin

and executive producer. and in sacramento, john myers, kxtv news 10, political editor. well, this campaign season has been marked by massive amounts of spending from outside groups, yet, with all of the money spent and all of the people who paid attention, the race for president remains too close to call. and here in california, we're feeling the affects of an onslaught of political ads for candidates and boll lot meallot. john, you were reporting on an $11 million political contribution to a group opposing proposition 30. tell us what the judge decided. >> well, a judge decided that mysterious arizona group needed to disclose its donors or disclose them to the state. the group appealed. the disclose sure is still tied up, as we speak. the disclosure hasn't happened. and the state and the attorney general and the fair political practice commission has asked the state supreme court to make the group give them the document so they can examine it to see if they have to disclose the doe mores. all of this is happening right before the election and whether to be seen. it's $11 million, a lot of

's clinch of the world series satellite. we want to head over to john sasaki, live in the marina district, well, i see the folks right behind you john, now crowded into the streets. >> reporter: hey, heather, it's still going on and it's going to be going on for quite a while. you can see it's quite the scene out here. i have talked to quite a few people who were here two years ago. i was here two years ago and it does seem quite a bit more rowdy than it was two years ago. a lot of fireworks going off, including this big piece of fireworks, launching up into the sky, lighting up the nighttime sky as well. i want to tell you really quick that we were in the republic bar at scott and lombard at the end of the game, when sergio romo locked down the championship for the giants, and go ahead and take a listen. >> go romo! yay! whoo! yeah! [ applause ] >> we are are the champions! . >> reporter: certainly one of the best recommendions of "we are the champions," by queen that san franciscos have ever been experienced and they sang the theme song from two years ago, "don't stop living." by jour

killer john dunkel. >> owe john was an evil man. >> the district attorney gave the i team access to dunkel's case file. i spent a week combing 12 boxes of evidence, transcripts audio and videotape. in the touchb he belmont the disappearance of a 15-year-old john davies and stabbing death of 12-year-old lance turner went unsolved for years as did the murder of shaen denel in sacramento. then dunkel went to men's colony in san luis obispo on a burglary charge got into what flagstaff said was a wrip a cell mate and confessed about killing those three boys. we found a recording of the cell mate reporting him to authorities. >> i didn't think it was serious. >> he wanted a deal on his own manslaughter charges so he convinced dunkel to write details of the murders, draw out maps and tell authorities everything. >> documents show dunkel also told his cell mate and a sek inmate that around the time of kevin collin's disappearance a killed a fourth victim by throwing them off the golden gate bridge but made it look like a suicide attempt. the description also appeared in this report on du

redesign and development upsdait. john thomas gave an update. this involves jefferson street from hyde to jones. the street is currently 37 feet wide and is one way with two traffic lanes westbound and parking on both sides of the street. the project will narrow the street to 24 feet wide with one traffic lane in each direction and no street parking. there will be no dedicated bike lanes, bicycles will use the street. this project was originally conceived as a shared public way where motor vehicles, pedestrians and bikes would all share the same surface, but has been revised based partly on the input from the blind focus group that mod had, revised so it will be a traditional raised sidewalk so the pedestrians are separated from cars. there will be a pedestrian accessible signal at jones and jefferson. the signals at jefferson and hyde are not signalized anyway and that will remain the same. there are ramps to some of the restaurants, mostly restaurants and stores, because of the change in level. in front of some of those buildings they will also install stairs to improve general

apologies. i am john hailey and the director of transit operations. >> thank you. john. i can -- can i have a member of the grand jury back up. there is back and forth here and now a comment from the mta they're willing to provide the evidence. i am wondering if you ask for the evidence and not provided in the course of the investigation. >> the evidence he is talking about is not the evidence we asked for. i believe he is now saying that he would be happy to give us some kind of list and description of all 180 switchbacks in every month and then we could read about each switch back and determine for ourselves whether that was a good thing for the system or not, and our opinion that is not a statistical study. that's not a comparison in anyway. that's just a description of all the switchbacks th bjective opinion as to whether it wa a good thing or a bad thing, and he may have offered us to do that, but we decided that would have been perhaps a thousand switchbacks we would have to read about and make up our minds whether they were a good or bad idea. in other words, this is not a

. i think that carried through and i see john sasaki trying to track down sergio romo. good luck with that, because he is quick on his feet and he is excited. why not? john gave up. there is romo who threw that beautiful strike 3 past the looking miguel cabrera to give the giants the second title in three years. >> i love the reaction shots. see how this guy reacted and that guy sergio romo's reaction is priceless. if you looped it for a half hour, i would look at it for a half hour. >> no question. >> he was not meant to be the closer of this team. brian wilson went down and sergio came in and there was a question of who was going to be the closer with closer by committee. type, they used castilla but, sergio romo in the playoffs became the closer. look like romo was overcome by the moment. he got out of the car. he could not contain himself any longer. he got out. he is a people person. it's fun to see the interaction between fans and players because just the way things are in these days, a lot of these fans never get close to the players. >> there is brandon belt. a lot of the

: major shakeup at apple. they will be looking for two senior executives. scott forestall and john broward are leaving this year. it's after digs appointing earnings and problems with problems with the mapping software. industry analysts say this move may have long term implications but unlikely to impact sales. we'll have to wait and see what it will have on apple stock going forward. >>> trading on wall street is suspended at least through tomorrow. first time u.s. markets have closed due to weather since 1985. suspension affects all trading markets including the pacific stock exchange. >> an oakland based international risk management firm is warning that sandy could set insurance loss records. those losses could be in the $5-10 billion range with uninsured losses soaring to as much as $20 billion. by comparison, hurricane irene caused $4 billion in uninsured losses this year. this is considerably more damaging. potential damage is new york city, it's harbor, 90-degree angle between long island and the coast making it unusually susceptible to flooding. >> we will continue to track storm

john saint croy in matters that go to the very heart of the open and honest operation. it is a real shame that a citizen of this city has to actually fight with boards and commissions who have taken an oath to support and defend the constitution of the united states and that of the state of california, who in some cases even have a chance to speak. and this is protected political free speech. and to represent it in some other way than a person who is speaking in the original, official records is nothing but censorship. and you want to censor it, which is why it has gone on this long. included in one of the determinations from the task force was a directive to the city attorney who stopped telling city bodies that not following the law as written, is wrong. and quit advising them to do it. this also referred to the district attorney office as well as this. >> good evening, commissioners, my name is dr. derek kerr. and i have comment that relates to the executive director's report and your annual report to the board. as you know, protection of whistle blowers is one of your mandates,

in transit from rehab units. the rehab units are demolished, so that john stewart company can build whatever and our elderly are put in other homes where asbestos fly all over the place and in months they die and you think it's a joke and come up with some ordinance this. is sickening. this is the city named after st. francis. where is the compassion? why aren't we educated on issues? after all the gang injunctions and after everybody has been removed and after so many have died and after a whole community has been bombarded, now we want to come to their rescue at the tail-end? while the john stewart company, the bridge developers, mercy housing and other big developers want this property to build market-value homes. pretending that they are going to give the poor people something, but when the time comes they are going to ask the poor people, do you have a good credit rating? and i want to ask you supervisors, do you have a good credit rating, something above 800 and say 880 points? most of you all don't have it. how do you expect the poor people to have it? think about it. thank you ver

in brooklyn and in lower manhattan as well. john berman is in battery park. got coastal flooding from hurricane irene. this time around it's expected to be significantly worse? >> significantly worse. they're saying the storm surge could be 6 to 11 feet higher. there was a study out of column brie ye bum bee yeah university saying had storm surge been 1 foot higher, it would have cost an additional $50 billion in damage. a storm surge 2 feet higher would come up to my knees, flood the subway system, the electrical grid. mayor michael bloomberg said he's considering shutting down two electrical networks taking out power to 17,000 people. but it could be much higher than that. it's early calm, as it should be. people are staying in about 76 storm shelters where they've gone to hotels or to crash with friends. mayor michael bloomberg almost begged people to get out of their home. let's listen. >> i can't stress enough this is for your own safety. if you refuse to evacuate, you're not only putting yourself at risk but first responders who will have to assist you in an emergency. >> now, a

, of being outdoors, not being burdened by the worries of city life. john mclaren had said that golden gate park was too far away. he proposed that we have a park in the south end of the city. the campaign slogan was, people need this open space. one of the things that had to open is there were a lot of people who did a homestead here, about 25 different families. their property had to be bought up. so it took from 1928 to 1957 to buy up all the parcels of land that ended up in this 317 acres. the park, as a general rule, is heavily used in the mornings and the evenings. one of the favorite places is up by the upper reservoir because dogs get to go swim. it's extremely popular. many fights in the city, as you know, about dogs in parks. we have 317 acres and god knows there's plenty of room for both of us. man and his best friend. early in the morning people before they go to work will walk their dogs or go on a jog themselves with their dogs. joggers love the park, there's 7 miles of hiking trails and there's off trail paths that hikers can take. all the recreational areas are heavily used

in the city's marina district. ktvu's john sasaki joins us live from chestnut street. >> reporter: to quote yogi berra, this is deja vu all over again. this place is going mad. i want to point out all of these people who are throwing beer and champagne and dancing around with brooms because of the sweep. what happened this time is different than last time. if you can pan over the other way, over there. someone actually brought out a big sound still on a pickup truck and there are spontaneous dance party going on in the middle of the streets. you are a big giant's fan? >> i am. >> what is your name? >> monica. >> reporter: tell me what this feels like to win the second world series in three years? >> everyone is saying two years ago and it's great to be back here and welcome the giants back to san francisco. >> reporter: what brought you out here to chestnut? >> everything. you know? all the fans. >> reporter: i don't know if you guys can hear me now, but thank you, monica. on a personal note i have to tell you that my car is parked right behind the pickup truck. so i don't know if it's

[applause] >> thank you very much wa wean. i want to say thank you to the mayor also, to the nominatin
